The coherent transport of surface plasmons with nonlinear dispersion relations on a metal nanowire coupled to two-level emitters is investigated theoretically. Real-space Hamiltonians are used to obtain the transmission and reflection spectra of the surface plasmons. For the single-dot case, we find that the scattering spectra can show completely different features due to the non-linear quadratic dispersion relation. For the double-dot case, we obtain the interference behavior in transmission and reflection spectra, similar to that in resonant tunneling through a double-barrier potential. Moreover, Fano-like line shape of the transmission spectrum is obtained due to the quadratic dispersion relation. All these peculiar behaviors indicate that the dot-nanowire system provides a onedimensional platform to demonstrate the bandgap feature widely observed in photonic crystals.

Growing global population, escalating energy consumption, and climate change threaten future energy security. Fossil fuel combustion, primarily coal, oil, and natural gas, exacerbates the greenhouse effect driving global warming through CO emissions. To address such issues, research is focused on converting CO into valuable fuels and chemicals, which aims to reduce noxious CO and simultaneously bridge the gap between energy demands and sustainable supply.

The controllable synthesis of epitaxial nanopillar arrays is fundamentally important to the development of advanced electrical and optical devices. However, this fascinating growth method has rarely been applied to the bottom-up synthesis of plasmonic nanostructure arrays (PNAs) with many broad, important, and promising applications in optical sensing, nonlinear optics, surface-enhanced spectroscopies, photothermal conversion, photochemistry, etc. Here, a one-step epitaxial approach to single-crystalline NbTiN (NbTiN) nanopillar arrays based on the layer plus island growth mode is demonstrated by strain engineering.
